Granted: 1909-06-24
Abstract: 13,455. Simone, M. G. de, and Simone, D. R. de. June 24. [Cognate Application No. 27,976, A.D. 1908, dated Dec. 23.] Motor road vehicles.-A motor-driven road vehicle consists of a pair of parallel wheels with the motor and driver's seat pivotally supported on the axle, steering being effected by driving the wheels positively at different speeds. Between the parallel wheels a, Fig. 2, is arranged a seat a<1> suspended freely from the axle b which is adapted to telescope so that the wheels may be brought closer together for storage purposes, and is normally held in position by detachable struts 2, 2a. The wheel shafts are driven by chains c from sprockets on independent transverse shafts connected by bevelgearing d to longitudinal shafts e, Figs. 3 and 4. The motor is mounted with its cylinders vertical and behind the seat frame a<1> and its longitudinal crank-shaftf carries a series of spur-wheels meshing with similar wheels loosely mounted on the shafts e. For straight driving the wheels g, g<1> are clutched to their shafts by pins r mounted radially in holes in the hollow shafts e and engaging oval recesses in the bosses of the wheels. When the vehicle is to be steered, the lever o<2> is oscillated by the steering hand-wheel so as to move the rods o, o' in opposite directions within the shafts e. These rods carry cams o<3> adapted to engage the pins r and thrust them outwards into the recesses of the spur-wheels. If the rod o is moved rearwards the wheel g is declutched and the wheel h is engaged, thereby giving a differential movement to the wheels, and causing the vehicle to be steered in the corresponding direction. A greater turning movement may be given to the vehicle by clutching one of the larger wheels j, k to the shaft e. In a modified form of differential driving-gear the hollow shafts c are disposed transversely and in alinement, and the control rods o, o' are replaced by a single rod operated by a steering-lever. The driving- wheels a are preferably of such dimensions that the seat is level with or below the axle. Sliding counterweights x are provided for adjusting the centre of gravity with varying loads. According to the Provisional Specification, the vehicle wheels may be driven through disconnectible clutches, so that to effect a steering movement one of the wheels is declutched and a brake applied thereto.
